HONG KONG: Issam Al Sabhi's goal two minutes from time gave Oman a 1-0 shock win over Japan in their opening clash in the final round of Asia's World Cup preliminaries for Qatar 2022 as South Korea and Iraq played out a scoreless draw in Seoul.
Both teams struggled in wet conditions, but it was Japan's Shuichi Gonda who was the busiest of the two goalkeepers keeping out efforts from Rabi Al Alawi and Ali Al Busaidi. The home side looked set to hold on for a point until Al Yahyaei sprinted past Gaku Shibasaki down the right to send in a pinpoint cross for Al Sabhi to steer home, earning Branko Ivankovic's side the win.
Hwang Hee-chan later squandered the opportunity to seal the win when, with time and space, he could only find the arms of goalkeeper Fahad Talib to meet Hong Chul's cross.
